NEW YORK -Little more than a week ago, Lil Wayne was reinforcing his place in rap's pantheon with a commanding performance at the Grammy Awards ceremony. His latest album, Rebirth, was officially released Feb. 2.
Now Lil Wayne, one of music's biggest sellers and rap's hottest stars, is poised to spend as much as the next year in a jail cell instead of a spotlight.
The Grammy-winning rapper was due to be sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty in a gun possession case. His plea deal calls for a year in jail, though good behavior could shave that to as little as eight months.
This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody can tell me what that's like, the rapper told Rolling Stone magazine for its latest issue. I just say I'm looking forward to it.
May I ask what you think of his comment that he's looking forward to it?
